This cultural venue was established by Patrick Manac’h and Hamid Mergani as a place where old photographs taken in Morocco could be shown to the public.
Portraits are given prominence, including those by H. Regnault (1870), Adolf de Meyer (Camera Work), and J. Robichez.
The collection of the House of Photography represents various historical and cultural aspects of Morocco, such as Berber culture, which is portrayed in photographs and the first colour documentary film in Morocco by Daniel Chicault, from 1957 on the Berber tribes of the High Atlas.
[4] The House of Photography holds exhibitions of photos from its collection on different themes, which change every six months.
It is also a research centre offering teachers and students information on the history and heritage of Morocco, as well as an educational venue open to schools.
